| Abstract | We have previously demonstrated that human papillomavirus type 1 (HPV 1) and 16 (HPV 16) E4 proteins form cytoplasmic filamentous networks which specifically colocalize with cytokeratin intermediate-filament (IF) networks when expressed in simian virus 40-transformed keratinocytes. The HPV 16 (but not the HPV 1) E4 protein induced the collapse of the cytokeratin networks. (S. Roberts, I. Ashmole, G. D. Johnson, J. W. Kreider, and P. H. Gallimore, Virology 197:176-187, 1993). The mode of interaction of E4 with the cytokeratin IFs is unknown. To identify E4 sequences important in mediating this interaction, we have constructed a large panel of mutant HPV (primarily HPV 1) E4 proteins and expressed them by using the same simian virus 40-epithelial expression system. Mutation of HPV 1 E4 residues 10 to 14 (LLGLL) abrogated the formation of cytoplasmic filamentous networks. This sequence corresponds to a conserved motif, LLXLL, found at the N terminus of other E4 proteins, and similar results were obtained on deletion of the HPV 16 motif, LLKLL (residues 12 to 16). Our findings indicate that this conserved motif is likely to play a central role in the association between E4 and the cytokeratins. An HPV 1 E4 mutant protein containing a deletion of residues 110 to 115 induced the collapse of the cytokeratin IFs in a manner analogous to the HPV 16 E4 protein. The sequence deleted, DLDDFC, is highly conserved between cutaneous E4 proteins. HPV 1 E4 residues 42 to 80, which are rich in charged amino acids, appeared to be important in the cytoplasmic localization of E4. In addition, we have mapped the N-terminal residues of HPV 1 E4 16-kDa and 10/11-kDa polypeptides expressed by using the baculovirus system and shown that they begin at tyrosine 16 and alanine 59, respectively. Similar-sized E4 proteins are also found in vivo. N-terminal deletion proteins, which closely resemble the 16-kDa and 10/11-kDa species, expressed in keratinocytes were both cytoplasmic and nuclear but did not form cytoplasmic filamentous networks. These findings support the postulate that N-terminal proteolytic processing of the E1-- E4 protein may modulate its function in vivo. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
